Private Jet Cannes to Antalya

Cannes to Antalya spans approximately 1,156 nautical miles, joining the glamorous resort of the French Riviera with the sunlit Mediterranean coast of southern Turkey. A sector of this length is well matched to a light or mid-size jet, with the Phenom 300 and the Citation CJ4 offering an efficient option for smaller parties, while a mid-size Challenger 350 suits larger groups wishing for greater cabin space on a flight of around two and a quarter hours. Cruising at altitudes approaching 43,000 to 45,000 feet, these aircraft rise above the weather of the Mediterranean for a smooth passage eastward. Departures are handled from Cannes Mandelieu Airport, the dedicated business-aviation field on the edge of the bay, whose provision for lighter aircraft makes for a swift and discreet start to the journey. Antalya, the gateway to Turkey’s Turquoise Coast, makes a fitting counterpart to the Croisette and harbours of Cannes. The city gathers around a Roman-era harbour, and its old quarter of Kaleici preserves Hadrian’s Gate, timber Ottoman houses and steep lanes descending to the sea, all framed by the Taurus Mountains beyond. Nearby lie the ruins of Perge and the great theatre of Aspendos, remnants of the ancient Pamphylian coast, while the Antalya Museum holds one of the country’s finest collections of Roman sculpture. The beaches of Konyaalti and Lara flank the city, and the resort towns of Kalkan and Kas lie further along the shore. This route suits travellers moving between two of the Mediterranean’s most celebrated resorts, families bound for a summer by the sea, and groups who value the speed and privacy of a direct flight. For those wishing to trade the Riviera for the harbours of the Turquoise Coast, the charter is the natural choice.
